Intro

Hello, Cirque du Biz, viewers, if any 🙂 ! Way back when this comic series was just a twinkle in my eye and wearables were the new rage, I had this whimsical idea: naming wearables for each character. Picture our corporate stars sporting these quirky gadgets in future strips! I hesitated about sharing this early brainstorming session, but hey, why not laugh a bit, even if it’s at my own antics? After all, that’s the Cirque du Biz spirit! So here it is, my little trip down memory lane. Enjoy, and remember, in our circus of business, every chuckle is welcome!
